Procedure -- 1963 Tennessee Survey, William I. Harbison
Vanderbilt Law Review

In the first of these, Necessary v. Gibson,' plaintiff joined a count for personal injuries resulting from defendants' alleged negligence with a count seeking recovery in contract based upon alleged promises of defendants to pay plaintiff for her injuries and expenses arising out of the same accident.

Commercial Transactions And Personal Property--1963 Tennessee Survey, John A. Spanogle, Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
Obviously, the biggest event in the Tennessee law of commercial transactions this year was the enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code [hereinafter referred to as the U.C.C.]. That statute became effective in this state on July 1, 1964. Its effect on the prior Tennessee law is discussed in great detail elsewhere in this issue,' and need not be re-examined here. It should also be pointed out that the enactment of the U.C.C.required some modifications in the criminal statutes relating to security agreements. In particular, executing a second security agreement covering personalty, without disclosing a prior security agreement covering the same …
Tennessee Law And The Sales Article Of The Uniform Commercial Code, W. Harold Bigham
Tennessee Law And The Sales Article Of The Uniform Commercial Code, W. Harold Bigham
Vanderbilt Law Review
Although much of the interest engendered by the Uniform Commercial Code has centered around Article 9--Secured Transactions,and although Article 9 has been described as the heart of the Code, Article 2--Sales--is half again as long, is in many ways more iconoclastic,' and has precipitated perhaps more criticism than any of the other articles of the Code. Article 2 contains some innovations which are, at least upon initial impression, startling departures from traditional concepts of sales law, and it is therefore not surprising that there has been a spate of legal literature published on various aspects of this article. Since limitations …

Annual Survey Of Tennessee Law, John S. Beasley, Ii
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Union Carbide and Ferguson cases were suits to recover Tennessee sales taxes and use taxes paid under protest for 1956 and 1958. Carbide and Ferguson urged that since they were under contract to the Atomic Energy Commission, the legal incidence of the tax was on the United States directly and therefore invalid. Carbide had been secured in 1943 to manage and operate certain plants involved in work on the atomic bomb, and Ferguson had subsequently been engaged to build additional facilities for this purpose. Both contended that their relationship with the United States and the Atomic Energy Commission was …

Business Associations--1963 Tennessee Survey, Robert N. Covington
Vanderbilt Law Review
Section two of the act creating Tennessee's new Law Revision Commission charges that body with the duty to study and report to the next legislature on "the laws governing the organization and operation of corporations, partnerships and other forms of business and social endeavor." The study is now roughly a year old and is reportedly making good headway. Since much of our law of business organizations may therefore be changed in the near future, this Survey has been abbreviated as much as possible.
Conflict Of Laws--1963 Tennessee Survey, Elliott E. Cheatham
Conflict Of Laws--1963 Tennessee Survey, Elliott E. Cheatham
Vanderbilt Law Review
The most important development in conflict of laws for many years is the enactment of the conflict of laws provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.' In adopting these provisions the General Assembly did much more than to fix the law for the specific matters covered, important though these are. The General Assembly rejected one widely urged method of choice of law, and it prescribed a wholly different one. It rejected the old vested rights theory which calls for the use of the law of the place of the last element of a transaction to govern the case, as, the place …
